On The Fact That Poor People (AKA Lucky Duckies) Are Not Paying Their Fair Share In Taxes

Yes, it is a fact that the bottom quintile gets 5.5 times as much in government benefits as they pay in taxes. This while the top quintile pays 3.5 times as much in taxes as they get back in government benefits.

So who's not paying their "fair share" again? Please, remind me. Clearly it's these lucky duckies. Not that I wish that I was poor and could loaf (sit on the couch eating cheetos and hot pockets, drinking Mountain Dew while watching "Game of Thrones" on my 4K big screen UHDTV). But I'm a Maker and not a lazy Taker.

But if you are poor and a lazy piece of shit (the two go hand in hand, btw, with the vast majority of poors being lazy fuckers who want to smoke weed and collect welfare)? Then, thanks to Liberals (who can only get elected by buying votes via free stuff paid for by over-taxing moderately well-to-do Makers like myself) then you surely are a "lucky ducky".

What explains this outrage? According to the Leftist publication "Mother Jones", many in the bottom quintile pay NO taxes!

...the federal tax code is designed not to tax the poor, the elderly, or low-income families with children, and there are more of these in America than you'd think. One way or another, it turns out, this accounts for about 40% of the country. (Breaking Down the Lucky Duckies).

Obviously SOME in the bottom quintile must pay taxes (while MANY don't). And, when you average it out, the result is that the bottom quintile gets 5.5 times as much in government benefits as they pay in taxes. Which I say is WRONG. If you're not paying in I say you should get NOTHING. As Ayn Rand put it, if these lazy loafers STILL refuse to work after their free stuff is removed, "nature will take it's course". And the poor loser will die.

Which I support 100% (that if lazy loafers refuse to work they SHOULD die. Good riddance, I say). And, NO, I don't give a shit if they're elderly or disabled. Or "can't work" for some other reason. No excuses, no exceptions. You don't work, you die.

Keeping these parasites alive at the expense of the rich man is an OUTRAGE! Frankly I think we need to abolish the victim class. Sadly, it will only come about via force (and by force I don't mean through violence but rather by changing our policies, allowing nature to take it's course, etc.) in that most folks are just too scared to be held responsible. And there's just way too much power and money at stake (government bureaucrats/programs, special interest groups, etc.) for a voluntary conclusion to occur. Hopefully it doesn't get too get ugly along the way.

By which I mean some kind of uprising. Get to work or die (if that is your choice). And, a poor man dying in the gutter isn't "ugly" at all. In fact I'd say it's poetic justice. By-the-way, if the poors were to rise up (after the elimination of their freebies), then I'd be OK with the State putting them to death. Looters should be shot (an instant death penalty that would be totally justified). As Mayor Daley said "shoot to kill".

I'm never going to be close to your neighborhood. Would not sweep your driveway if I was. I've never received a single freebie from Rusty. I owe you nothing. I would suggest you sweep my driveway, but I wouldn't want you to know where I live. Still wondering why you said you were crying.

LLIN Proprietor Willis "I Love Strawmen" Hart

Hello, my name is Willis Hart, the new proprietor of "Lying Lester's Irrational Nation", which will now be called "Willis Hart's LLIN". Lying Lester is no longer associated with this blog (see this post for the reason why).

FYI, in regards to my Blogger ID, "I Love Strawmen", I chose it because of my intense love affair with the informal fallacy, and not due to love for actual men made of straw.

Not real men because I am not gay (not that there is anything wrong with that). Although, I do also love our wealthy overlords, many of whom are male... but my love for the oligarchs is strictly platonic.

Former Blog Proprietor Lord Lying Lester, Man of Reason

Greetings parasites! My name is Lord Lester Nation: Man of Reason, but you can call me Lying Lester. I am a fanatical devotee of the great philosopher Ayn Rand. While some may believe that this is a spoof blog, that is something I stridently deny.

The absolute truth is that it is my other blog rAtional nAtion uSA, that is a spoof... or, humor blog, if you will. A real man can laugh at himself as well those he has duped into thinking he truly is "rAtional".

With that in mind, I encourage you to visit RNUSA - while keeping in mind not to take anything I say there seriously. It is all meant to be quite humorous and (hopefully) produce a belly splitting laugh or two.

Irrational Nation is, however, a serious blog and, in my view, a place for serious commentaries and discussions... please keep that in mind if you should decide to comment. Thank you, The former management.

Former Blog Proprietor Lyle Lester (AKA The 2nd Lying Lester)

A former proprietor of this blog, Lyle Lester has passed away. Lyle, a man who bore an uncanny resemblance to perennial Libertarian potus candidate Gary Johnson, was the victim of a tragic skydiving accident. Long story short, he plummeted to his death after jumping out of an airplane at 30 thousand feet - and his parachute failed to open. Rest in peace Lyle.

Important Notice

Has it been awhile since the LLIN sight was last updated? If so, the Reason is that our sight is currently inactive. No further explanation will be given! Deal with it, parasite! Please also note, however, that a lack of activity does not mean this blog is dead or has been abandoned. All it means is that I have better things to do with my time, such as fooling the gullible over on my other blog rAtional nAtion uSA. Which is infinitely more injoyable (hoodwinking the suckers who read RNUSA, that is). Ha ha ha ha ha!!! (That's me laughing at my RNUSA readers).

(O)CT(O)PUS Is A Totally Great Guy!

Octopusis one of the most brilliant and original theoriticians in all of human history and I know this because he's told me so, many times.

Actually, I don't like the guy because he impugns people's motivation and veracity constantly and it totally pissed me off when he said that I have an agenda. Octopus is a condescending boob who thinks that the sun rises and falls on his opinions and his delivery is always pretentious, pedantic, pontifical, etc. He insults people (usually via some sort of sophomoric rhyme scheme), calls them liars, and mischaracterizes their views, and then he cries foul, when the targeted person responds in kind (maybe he feels that he's above criticism). Plus he's flagrantly orthodox and totally inept when it comes to consuming research, understanding nuance, and grasping the limitations of human knowledge. The dude thinks that he already knows everything, takes himself way too seriously, and basically sounds like some pseudo-professorial blowhard 24/7. Other than that, he's a great guy.

All that seems indispensable in stating the account between the dead and the living, is to see that the debts against the latter do not exceed the advances made by the former - James Madison.

And so today I ask ask... Wherein lies the accountability in this day and age of big government and growing statism - Lester Nation.

Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual - Thomas Jefferson.

Who is John Galt?

Ayn Rand's Timeless Wizzdumb

"My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute". (appendix to "Atlas Shrugged")

"The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours. But to win it requires total dedication and a total break with the world of your past, with the doctrine that man is sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence, which is man, for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the morality of life and yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth". John Galt quote that ended Ayn Rand's last public speech (New Orleans Nov 1981)

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government".
